- Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine the biomechanical profile of flamenco dancers to analyze the dance technique. In this way we can achieve greater performance optimization and preserve the physical integrity of the dancer, as it happens with athletes. The study population comprised one female flamenco dancer from Cádiz. We proceeded to film a dance sequence, which includes specific technical gestures of flamenco dance. We created a model of wired "mono", as well as synchronization, digitizing and rendering of images. Results have shown that, due to the height of left and right heel during the footwork, we can deduce the number of heel tapping made (41 right, 42 left). We can also verify if the feet are parallel during the dance, if the speed of the footwork was superior in the right foot over the left, if a knee flexion angle can cause excessive overhead, trigger joint injuries, and muscle imbalances among others. With this analysis we can get an interesting information to reflect on the technique used by the dancer, in order to take corrective action and improvement.
